Are we talking about the HBO show or Gary Vaynerchuk's most recent WLTV Episode?

Got through the first ten minutes then my 5 year old woke up and came downstairs...needless to say had to turn it off. Will finish watching tonight..

I will watch again...

I don't know about this one. That whole underlying vampire rights thing seems to be an allegory for race and sexual preference. I think this series will come with some high horse morality, the type that is used to shape the minds of children/adolescents (and that sometimes makes me nauseas). Something about this show does feel comic book cheesy to me. I do like that brunette waitress and her shorts though. At times I did find myself being entertained, but the scale may tip in the direction where I find myself looking for something else to watch.

I watched the documentary and liked when they were talking about the history of vampires and Vlad etc. They should have left the vampire culture people out though. Those goof balls with their teeth fashioned into fangs. I hope at least one of cdr's children turn out like that. Just for entertainment reasons.

I've only watched one show, and it is unfortunately, one of those series that if you miss one show, you're lost.

It kind of reminded me of of the movie (and later TV series) Alien Nation, which used the same sort of premise that Spo mentioned above, although with aliens fron another planet instead of vampires.

I don't think I will bother trying to keep up with it.

I think it is worth catching up on. But I agree... so much happens in one episode, if you didn't start at the beginning...

Still...

I'm hooked.

I agree, I am hooked too, although I have this little voice whispering to me that this could turn and become cheesy at any second. But, until then, I am entertained. And, Suki (sp?) is growing on me.

Also, Sons of Anarchy on FX, if you haven't caught that one, is pretty good as well.

This show is cheesy, and I hate to admit it, but I have been watching it (lets face it, there is just not that much on TV)and I have enjoyed it. The murder mystery, the brother cracks me up (he tells that bartender he wants to be with here then later on when she is taking out the trash what does she find?). They kind of made it look like Sam is the killer, but he may just be a freak, or maybe he is the killer, I don't know.

not the brightest chip in the cookie, are you?

They could be trying to make the audience think Sam is the killer. The gloves seemed sinister and suggestive and him rolling around in the sheets does not look good either, but I have not seen blood on his hands. At this point I do not know, but I have been led to believe it is likely or possible.

Are you going to start scrutinizing all my posts now?

just the dumb ones. so i guess that's a YES.

Don't mind Tbird, he grew up on Three Mile Island.

I only watch this because of Anna......

so who is the dog (note that I said who and not what or whose)? Is it a vampire that can change shape? who knows, but that is going to be a part of the show, I think.

And spo - I agree, that scene when she walks out the back of the bar just after the brother tells her that he loves her and finds.... was priceless.

And that scene with Sam rolling on the bed at the end of the a couple of episodes ago was just disturbing. Who knows if he is actually the killer, or just psycho, but it was plain disturbing.

Does it have to do with being brought up on PLum Island?

Finally got it together after watching it. Will Alan Ball's show get another season?

I am curious to see how far they take this Eric as the boss thing and how the 'trial' is handled.

That, and watching Sam try and talk his way out of this with Suki at the start of next week should be fun as well.

This is campy, but an enjoyable show, and a quick hour (48 minutes) on the tv.

yes
